Although Xiao Tu’s scanning function could not clearly show the structure of the human body like the CT scan of the hospital, it could detect the presence of abnormal metals through the signals reflected back by the radar.
Ke Shaobin proposed to scan Professor Tang’s whole body, which was originally just a joke. As a result, after Professor Tang heard these words, his face instantly changed. Looking at his resistant expression, Yue Xingwen could not help but wonder, “It’s just a scan, what are you so worried about? Could it be that you didn’t eat the data chip?”
Professor Tang clenched his teeth and refused to speak.
Yue Xingwen winked at Ke Shaobin.
Ke Shaobin immediately summoned Xiao Tu and aimed the radar detector at Professor Tang.
Yue Xingwen smiled and said, “Professor Tang, please don’t be offended. We are only examining you and will not harm you. Please cooperate with us.”
Professor Tang’s tone stiffened, “Anyway, you can use vines to tie me up, or use a cage to lock me, can I still not cooperate?”
Yue Xingwen laughed, “It’s good that you know.”
Professor Tang: “…”
So, what you just said was just a polite gesture? You’re going to use force if I don’t cooperate?
Professor Tang frowned, closed his eyes and his eyes were closed with a desperate look of ‘at your mercy’.
Xiao Tu turned on the radar monitoring function and aimed at Professor Tang, scanning him from head to toe, and a clear image soon appeared in the laptop. The contours of the human form, the heart, gastrointestinal tract, and other areas where there was blood flow, show red spots that represent heat.
Liu Zhaoqing carefully examined the entire gastrointestinal tract and said in surprise, “No special metals were found in the gastrointestinal tract. It seems that Professor Tang did not eat the data chip? Where is it hidden?”
Professor Tang calmly said, “The data chip is not on me. So, once I die after you kill me, my companions will immediately send the data chip to the Genetic Research Center through the network.”
Yue Xingwen looked back at him, “Really? If you can send it over the network, you would have sent it already. There was no need for you to hide in the rooftop iron box at the Research Institute and wait for three days and nights?”
Professor Tang’s face changed slightly.
Yue Xingwen smiled and said, “This information must be kept confidential and not allowed to be seen by a third person, and it may be leaked if you send it over the network. The existence of mutants was the consequence of data leakage, and you won’t take such a big risk.”
Professor Tang gritted his teeth and did not refute.
Yue Xingwen concluded, “So, the data chip is definitely still on you. Your most important task is to take the data chip to the Genetic Research Center and tell the top leaders of the organization about the mutant’s genetic weaknesses. The data chip is more important to you than your own life.”
He glanced across Professor Tang’s whole body, looking up and down. “If it isn’t in your stomach, where is it hidden?”
Ke Shaobin whispered, “In other parts of his body, three abnormal metal signals are found.”
Yue Xingwen looked closely at the image presented by Xiao Tu’s scan and said, “Wrist, neck, face.”
Ke Shaobin nodded and said, “There is a metal watch on the wrist, a necklace around the neck, and the glasses on his face.”

Yue Xingwen took a closer look. The necklace was round metal with a very small pinhole on the back. Lin Manlup took a thorn off the vina and poked it into the middle of the small hole——
There was indeed a mechanism.
After opening it, he saw a tiny green chip about 8mm long inside the necklace.
Yue Xingwen gently picked up the chip and showed it to Professor Tang, “Is this it?”
Professor Tang’s face was ugly and said, “Since you found it, you can take it to your superiors to hand over the task.”
Yue Xingwen did not rush to confirm, picked up his watch and examined it carefully, flipping it over and opening the back cover, finding nothing unusual. Picking up the glasses, he also studied it carefully, on the frames on both sides of the glasses. There was a pair of delicate decorations, which was a very common diamond-shaped style. Yue Xingwen observed left and right for a moment, and gently pulled apart the decoration away——
The right side of the frame actually had a green chip glued to it as well.
Yue Xingwen laughed, “You really have a comprehensive consideration, preparing three copies of the chip to fool people with a fake. The one I was given at the Research Institute at the beginning was definitely a fake.”
Professor Tang’s face changed suddenly. He said angrily like a cat whose foot had been stepped on, “Does it still matter if it is real or not? Since I fell into your hands, wouldn’t it be okay for you to kill me and destroy all the data chips?”
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other, and the latter said in a low voice, “This piece in the glasses may be real.”
When it was said that Professor Tang ate the data chip into his stomach, he pushed the boat and admitted it. Yue Xingwern had not doubted him before, but as a result, Professor Tang was quite good at digging a pit—— He did not eat the data chip into his stomach at all, but hid it in his glasses.
Yue Xingwen carefully put the data chips away and said, “Whether they are real or not, these chips will be handed over to us for safekeeping.”
Professor Tang looked desperate.
Yue Xingwen said, “Don’t worry, we won’t kill you.” After saying that he returned the watch, necklace, and glasses to the other party. Professor Tang took it in silence and sat in his seat without saying a word.
Jiang Pingce walked to the driver’s seat, exchanged positions with Xu Yishen and said, “Senior brother, you can rest. Let me drive for the first half of the night.”
Xu Yishen switched to the back row to rest while Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen took charge of driving like they did last night.
Yue Xingwen said, “Everyone is tired for a day, sleep first.”
The bus gradually quieted down. The other students slept, and in the dark, the bus sped on the remote road.
Time went by, both sides of the road were deserted, a vast wasteland, and they were the only bus on the whole road, as if they had been abandoned by the whole world.
Yue Xingwen stared at the road ahead, chatting idly with Jiang Pingce.
At 23:30 in the middle of the night, Yue Xingwen was sleepy, and suddenly, he heard a strange sound, like birds flapping their wings overhead. Yue Xingwen woke up suddenly and looked around alertly, “What’s that sound?”
Jiang Pingce did not see it clearly and guessed, “It seems to be crows?”
Yue Xingwen looked out of the window. Through the light, he actually saw a bat hanging upside down on the tree’s branch. However, the size of the bat was too big, almost the same as a human seven or eight-year-old child?
Yue Xingwen was stunned and said, “It’s not a crow, it’s a bat!”
The next moment, the sound of wings waving in his ears grew louder and louder. In the darkness, as if they had received some command, the dense swarm of bats suddenly surrounded the bus!
A black swarm of bats swamped the bus almost instantly!
Jiang Pingce was driving when three bats suddenly swooped over directly in front of the bus window, laying side by side on the bus window. The body clearly had wings, but the head was no different from that of humans. The one facing Jiang Pingce was a little girl with braided hair. Her gaze was cold and her black wings spread with a ‘swoosh’ sound, almost covering half of the bus window glass.
Her partner lay alongside her on the windshield, eyes fixed on the bus, covering the entire window with his wings.
Jiang Pingce could not see the road ahead at all, stopping the bus with a kick of the brakes.
Meeting the bright human eyes before him and looking at the dark wings covered all over the bus windows, Yue Xingwen’s heart tightened. He hurriedly shouted, “Wake up everyone!”
The classmates in the bus were sleeping. With Jiang Pingce’s sharp brakes and Yue Xingwen’s loud shout, everyone was woken up at the same time. They all tensed up and prepared themselves for battle.
Professor Tang looked around in horror and asked, “What-what’s wrong?”
Zhuo Feng dashed to the driver’s seat and asked, “What’s the situation?” Through the light of the headlights, he saw the ‘human-faced bat monster’ lying on the window of the bus, and a chill ran down his spine. “Mutants?”
Yue Xingwen said, “Flying bats.”
Liu Zhaoqing turned his head to look out the window, right into the eyes of a little boy, stirring his wings and licking the blood from his lips, staring at him as if he was prey.
Liu Zhaoqing rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and could not help but curse, “Fuck, it’s so disgusting! A bat with a face that looks like a human and is more than one meter tall. How exactly does such a monster get produced?”
Yue Xingwen said, “Everyone be careful! These bats suck blood!”
He made this judgment because he saw several bats showing sharp teeth and blood stains on their lips. Apparently, this group of ‘mutants’ was transformed into vampire bats, inheriting the ability of bats to fly and suck blood.
Their teeth were extremely sharp and could bite off the neck of ordinary humans in an instant!
As soon as the words fell, there was a banging sound in their ears. The window glass was shattered almost instantly, and the gauze that Liu Zhaoqing had wrapped around the bus was broken by the bat with their sharp teeth.
The swarm of bats, who were nearly a meter tall, fiercely pounced into the bus, emitting a piercing ‘squeaking’ sound from their mouths, and began to tear and bite them indiscriminately!
It was chaotic inside the bus.
The vampire bats opened their big mouths and specifically stared at people’s necks to bite them. Once the aorta was bitten, they would absolutely die instantly!
There were too many bats to count. Some of them were flying around the bus, some hanging upside down from the top of the bus, and there was almost no room for movement in the entire compartment.
Apparently, after the mutants’ mission to impersonate the 183 Action Group to capture Professor tang failed this evening, the organization changed its plans and decided to launch an all-out attack on them—— Regardless of the data chips, simply wipe them out completely!
Qin Lu’s plate movement and Qin Miao’s big move had all been used today. The skills would not refresh until 00:00am. The second wave of the mutants’ attack was stuck at the 23:30 mark, and many skills were on cooldown.
Among the escape skills, only Yue Xingwen’s ‘Golden Cicada Shell’ was left.
However, ‘Golden Cicada Shell’ could only take away the teammates of the Research Group, and it could not bring Professor Tang. If Professor Tang, who had no ability to protect himself, was thrown here, within 1 minute, he would be sucked dry by the bats!
Yue Xingwen’s mind thought quickly.
How to protect Professor Tang?
Suddenly, his brain flashed and he pulled out another book, which was the <Modern Writers’ Classic Anthology> that he had just changed before.
Yue Xingwen quickly read a paragraph at Professor Tang, “I’m going to buy some oranges. You stay right here and don’t move around.”
Professor Tang: “???”
In the chaos, hearing that Yue Xingwen wanted to buy him oranges, Professor Tang looked confused—— What exactly was going on with this strange team? Surrounded by a swarm of bats and in a life-or-death situation, he actually said that he wanted to buy oranges?
The next moment, Yue Xingwen summoned his idiom dictionary, “Golden Cicada Shell, go!”
Twelve people were taken by Yue Xingwen to leave collectively and teleported to a place 50 meters away from the bus.
Only Professor Tang was left alone in the bus.
Ke Shaobin looked at the bus with a worried expression and asked, “Is it okay to leave Professor Tang behind?”
Yue Xingwen looked at the fresh orange in his hand and said, “No problem, as long as I don’t give him the orange, he will enter an invincible state where he can’t be attacked for the next 5 minutes. Those bats can’t hurt him.”
The skill of buying oranges was a good skill against the BOSS, which was equivalent to pressing the pause button on a single target. As long as the orange was not given to the designated target, that person must stand in place for 5 minutes as a statue—— At the same time, that person could not be attacked.
Lan Yarong could not help but say, “Professor Tang is going to be scared to death by us.”
Everyone: “…”
Poor Professor Tang, surrounded by a swarm of bats. Although Yue Xingwen’s skill could make him invincible, the visual and psychological pressure would definitely make him especially devastated!
However, this was the only way to protect Professor tang at the moment.
Yue Xingwen did not have time to explain in detail to Professor Tang. He took a deep breath and said seriously, “We only have 5 minutes, let’s cooperate and clear these bat monsters as fast as possible!”
The author has something to say:
Professor Tang: I don’t know if I should say this phrase, MMP : )
You’re really brave, Prof Tang
Thank you for your translation
